Kids toy retailing giant Toys’R’Us have announced that they expect to close their Livingston store in the spring of next year.

The superstore, located at Almondvale Retail Park in the West Lothian town, is one of four Scottish stores expected to shut following Monday’s announcement.

A Toys’R’Us UK spokesperson said: “It is likely that the Livingston store will close in the spring of 2018.

“We will continue to honour gift cards and Take Time To Pay agreements and there will be no change to our returns policy.”

The toy retailer also said that its decision to close 26 outlets throughout the UK will not affect business through Christmas and into the New Year and that all efforts will be made to redeploy staff members where possible.
